VIA Rail Canada Siemens Charger Train Set X 2 - VIA61

VIA61 passing the bridge in Lovekin, ON on the Kingston Division. This would be the first time that two Siemens Charger sets would run in tandem to Toronto; However the second set was not a revenue train as it was just being towed to Toronto, ON.
The first set (with passengers) consisted of:
VIA 2302 VIA 2802 VIA 2902 VIA 2702 VIA 2602 VIA 2203
The second set (empty) consisted of:
VIA 2303 VIA 2803 VIA 2903 VIA 2703 VIA 2603 VIA 2204

I am starting to think it was not a coincidence that they towed an extra set to Toronto MC and brought 2212/2312 as 636 the other night down under power to Montreal MC

Why do you think it was no coincidence?

For starters, 2212 should be the next one to be commissioned, and needs its operating hours. But on the other hand, the Toronto based crews lost their training venture set for switchover orientation. So swap for swap.
